The French Slow Cooker CookBook
The French Slow Cooker cookbook - Michelle Scicolone
English | PDF | 90 pages | 28.70 MB
I received this excellent slow cooker book from VINE to review. Normally I would try more than two recipes before reviewing a cook book, but
based on the two that I have made so far, the Bargeman's Beef Stew and the Pork Ribs Hunter's Style, I am now a big fan of Michele Sciolone
and will be buying her Italian Slower Cooker book. I like her ingredients and the straight forward way she writes. Both of these recipes
were easy to make and the results were even better than I had expected. I love that numerous and varied spices and seasonings are used and I
didn't have to improvise once they were done. My butcher didn't have country ribs on the bone, so I got the boneless and cut them in half.
They worked very well. The recipe called for 8 hours of cooking time, but mine were done in a little over four. I guess because I browned
them well and used relatively smaller pieces would account for that.
I know that you aren't suppose to 'peek' during cooking, but about about half way through most recipes, I feel an overwhelming need to stir.
I am a long time and regular stove top maker of numerous slow cooked dishes and soups, it goes against my nature to 'set and forget'. So
maybe it adds a few more minutes to the cooking time, but I am in no hurry.
